Impaired global longitudinal strain in elderly patients with preserved ejection fraction is associated with raised post-exercise left ventricular filling pressure

ConclusionIn elderly patients with preserved LVEF and without obvious myocardial ischemia, impaired resting GLS at rest is associated with raised post-exercise LV filling pressure estimated byE/e′ ≥ 15.0.
